Assets of Community Value

Even if your local isn't under any kind of obvious threat,
it's well worth getting it registered as an Asset of Community Value (ACV).

Should a pub with ACV status ever be put up for sale then a six-month
moratorium kicks in during which time the local community can submit a bid
to buy it themselves. At worst, this buys campaigning time.

The Government
has recently announced its intention to further protect ACV-listed pubs by
requiring planning permission to be obtained before they can be demolished
or converted to a shop, restaurant or office. Guidance on applying is at
